WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Donald Trump s former personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani on Wednesday asked a judge to throw out a voting machine company s $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit relating to his false claims about the November 2020 presidential election being rigged.
Giuliani s lawyer said in a court filing that Dominion Voting Systems lawsuit should be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction, and because the company has not adequately justified its request for money damages.
The filing said Giuliani denies defaming Dominion, adding that the former New York City mayor would present a more forceful defense on the merits if his jurisdictional arguments are rejected by the judge in the District of Columbia assigned to the case.
